Great show I was born in 84’ from SC, So I know a good bit about NWA/WCW, I saw it happening to Arn But Really didn’t know he was feeling like that 🤦🏾♂️ Nobody Can Ever Replace “The Enforcer”🔥
Dustin is a tough sob with a dip in his lip who took the role of a flamboyant charismatic character. He took it seriously. If this was an issue, then talent should have let him be himself. The point is if you're gonna ask a man or woman to play a role, don't complain when they do it well.
My only thing about this video, is J.R. makes it seem like the WWF was using Dustin Rhodes like that before they gave him the gold dust character. I could be wrong, that was really the only time I remember seeing Dustin in the wwe/wwf. So in essence, Dustin was actually right not paranoid.
Terri was my favorite during that era. She's still attractive, but I will never be able to get the image of her tossing New Jack's salad out of my mind.
The 1st 2 minutes was very eye opening. I love watching and listening to this. Jim Ross exposed the wrestlers in the locker room manipulated Ahmed Johnson out his spot.
The mid to late 90s were a hilarious time for wrestling. That Marilyn Manson shock rock vibe had invaded wrestling and you never what crazy stuff was going to happen to shock people.
I got bad news for you mate. If you watch 90s wrestling without fast forwarding through the shitty bits it's every bit as bad as today. You can't go home again and all that.
At the time, all of us fabs wanted Ahmed as champ. He may have been green but the fans didn't see that. We enjoyed him at that time. It was the absolute right idea.
The Monday Night Wars/ Attitude Era was a wild period. The stuff WWF, WCW and ECW were doing was very innovative but very controversial. They grew the wrestling audience in general a lot, especially the younger demographic, but they pissed off a lot of people too and they probably lost quite a few older fans too that were still hanging, but nowhere nearly as many as they gained. 90s pop culture was kind of wild itself though
33 million people tuned in to watch Saturday night's main event. This was in the 1980s. There was about 8 million people watching Monday Night Raw and another 8 million people watching Monday night nitro. That's 16 million weekly viewers in the '90s. If you factor in the 33 million that was watching 10 years earlier and then add up all of the people watching the territories I would dispute that claim that '90s wrestling was hotter than '80s wrestling. It might have seemed that way because we were kids at the time and so we controlled the cultural zeitgeist. But for every kid they gained they lost two adults. It's just that the younger audience tends to draw that hot demographic. 18 to 35.
Dustin really embraced gold dust which is a mark to his professionalism. The two I was really impressed with when it came to ‘90s gimmicks Dustin/gold dust and borne/Doink. Both had to absolutely hate the premises when they heard it and yet they really made the most of it.
I wish Dustin got himself in serious shape in WWE and then had a big run as the Natural. If his height and size, Dustin could have been an intimidating heel or babyface.
Funny how the WWE had no issue with angels like Undertaker putting Stephanie on a crucifix, implied forced s*x, Vince McMahon with his head between women's legs but Gold Dust rubbing on someone cause Vince and the fans to freak out.
@@TheGirugamesh1000 And it isn't "gay", its heelish unwanted touching. Just like heel men touching women was done to get heat. People's own personal problems with, assumptions about, or insecuritues around homosexuals shouldn't have been pandered to. But then again it was 1996.
Vince specifically told Gold Dust to stop rubbing himself on all the talent or he will be fired. Pat Paterson was probably the only guy that never complained about it.
Dustin Rhodes played the androgynous character that Vince asked him to play! I thought some of his promos were some of the most humorous of all time! Dustin was Great!!!
I like that painting. One bird is looking one way, and the other bird is looking another way. It's kind of like a metaphor for what happens in the bed.
Bro the Mandela Affect is real I swore I seen some type of Memorial for Jim Ross back in Highschool or something part of the reason I stopped watching wrestling Jim Ross is Alive and Well. This is like 100 Christmas days all in one Love you Jim !
Heh, no wonder why the WWF ran this brief disclaimer at the beginning of their shows: *WARNING: The following program contains action of a graphic nature. VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED*
I can't believe this doesn't have more views already..I wish this podcast would really take off for JR.. nobody deserves the success more than JR in my opinion..
I'd be more worried on who Vince is Rubbing up on
He said don't rub up on anyone ON TV. Vince probably thought he was helping the guy out.
At that time I’m sure it was only Hickenbottom(Michaels)🤣
Lol
It's crazy how people believe lying l ass woman.
Right? Vince was probably jealous he wasn’t getting rubbed up on
If you close your eyes while listening to this it’s like listening to young JR and old JR at the same time
Lmao
Yesssss….you can feel the wisdom though.
And old JR sounds like he's the older brother of Dave Ramsey.
Read my mind.
Its crazy that Jim Ross still smokes with all the health issues he has now
JR smokes? What does he smoke outside of ribs, of course?
Its too late now...He knows when the clock stops ticking nothing can be done now
@@tylermcnally8232yeah, after a certain age people stop caring. Just let him enjoy whatever he’s got left. After a certain age you know you can be gone at any minute.
@@Sularus92 Probably Marlboro.
In his bedroom aswell 🤢
I thought that Goldust supposed to be a creepy, sexually inappropriate character.
he is and Dustin did the role as intended
I thought Golddust was supposed to make sure I could never watch wrestling with an eye shot of my family
i said within. I fucking love voice to text. How is AI ever going to take over the world when voice to text? Can't even tell what the fuck I'm talking about.
@emilyanderson9559 😮😮 I always just text even then it's crazy. Spelling chit that don't make sence🤨🤨🤨
So would you want your co worker rubbing up on you?
Vince should be the last one concerned about others being inappropriate .
It was probably network executives complaining. They complained about DX and their stuff in comparison was tame.
Especially with Patterson slithering around backstage
Did you even listen before speaking? Obviously not. Typical mark...
@@TheFinalBossEngaged I'm sorry, who are you?
Of course Vinny Mac wanted the rubbing to stop because Vinnie Mac doesn't like competition.
"IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME!"
On a house show in MSG, gold dust told Savio Vega he loved Puerto Rican men 😂
He does love sucking on there big sausages & swallow there
cream & drink from the Tap
😆😆😆
"Goldy, if you want to do that stuff me and Pat are going to Chucky Cheese later, try and be a professional" -VM
🤫
2:35 "That was a specific mandate" I bet Goldust would have fun with the term "mandate" in a promo!
Underrated comment 😂😂😂
My favorite comment. Very clever.
@@savagecatgt is it?
One of the greatest characters ever! I remember when I was a kid, absolutely repulsed by him hahaha so creepy. Looking back now, absolutely brilliant!!
Goldust rubbing up on Savio Vega was pretty funny though.
Which was 100% Savio's idea according to Dustin.

It depends on the roll. Hawaiian rolls, then yea....to the fullest. Yeast rolls though, not so much

He was in a tag with his dad on the ‘91(?) royal rumble, losing to The million dollar man and Virgil, but freeing Virgil from MDM’s control.
Goldust was lady gaga before her
Terri was smoking hot! Her and Debra were my favorites.
I loved Terri. Mmm mmm little Marlena. I would.
Dustin joked that he paid for the implants if true
Terri was my favorite during that era. She's still attractive, but I will never be able to get the image of her tossing New Jack's salad out of my mind.

Seeing J.R smoke a cigarette don't feel right.
How can Ahmad be untrusting AND think guys are trying to help him? Yet if they’re screwing with him, doesn’t it justify him being untrusting ? ….
It's hard watching Jim light up a smoke knowing he's had so many health issues in the past.
Kinda makes you wonder if that’s compounded his health issues and for how long …
At the time, all of us fabs wanted Ahmed as champ. He may have been green but the fans didn't see that. We enjoyed him at that time. It was the absolute right idea.
Jr is a hater. Ahmed def had that IT factor

I was watching wwf in 1996, ahmed was very over and could work a better match than most give him credit for
I agree.
Jim Ross puffing on that weed 😂
🍃💨🚀
I didn't know J.R. smoked.
Me either, and I've been watching him since I was a kid in the 90s.
Just like Sheldon Cooper he was worried about his spot
Funny how JR makes it all seem so simple and that's ironic coming from a man who sold his soul and dignity to Vince McMahon on numerous occasions.
Dustin really embraced gold dust which is a mark to his professionalism. The two I was really impressed with when it came to ‘90s gimmicks Dustin/gold dust and borne/Doink. Both had to absolutely hate the premises when they heard it and yet they really made the most of it.
Goldust played the Hollywood character perfectly
I remember the carpark brawl with Gold dust and Roddy Piper, that was intense.
My brain instantly thought of The Bloodhound Gang
Jimmy Pop forever
Why?
@@SmegulonPrime look it up
Sweat baby sweat!
@@SmegulonPrimebecause of their song "The Bad Touch"
Rocking chair is not a good idea lol...
Someone should have told Vince and John not to rub on the talent😂😂😂😂
Good interview
the village voice is free
Not JR quoting Buffalo Springfield 😂😂😂
I read on PWI insider that Vince used a little doll to show GoldDust where it was OK to touch people
He just said , “ rub on me instead pal “
I was a kid watching Gold Dust and he was a fave of mine but I knew he(the character) was a big freak 😆💀 I had a crush on that girl that was with him
I wish Dustin got himself in serious shape in WWE and then had a big run as the Natural. If his height and size, Dustin could have been an intimidating heel or babyface.
You don’t need the bogey 🚬 JR 😂🙏🏾

Yeah because it's gay and might actually make someone mad.

If you made me look gay on national television, stabbing would occur
It was ok for goldust to be naked and the only thing he had on was the IC title but not ok touching the wrestlers?
This is only time I can’t hold anything against Ahmed 😂
Vince specifically told Gold Dust to stop rubbing himself on all the talent or he will be fired. Pat Paterson was probably the only guy that never complained about it.
It can be difficult as a wrestler to lose your spot. Not your dog spot, not a liver spot, no not your parking spot, BUT YOUR SPOT!!!
The Undertaker chased him backstage for this lmao
I'm curious as to why the guys in the back were trying to screw over Ahmed Johnson.
I wonder how Dustin's career would have developed without the Goldust character.
It wouldn't have.
Bad touching Ayyyooo 🤦🏾♂️🙆🏾♂️ DAMN! Ron Simmons voice
The real threat is Vince McMahon let’s be honest🤫
Dustin Rhodes played the androgynous character that Vince asked him to play! I thought some of his promos were some of the most humorous of all time! Dustin was Great!!!
Vince McMahon created the obnoxious overtly flamboyant Goldust character. Then he told Goldust to “stop” rubbing on other wrestlers. 🤪
Jim Ross smoking a cigarette while talking to Conrad
“Cigarette”
How much does a wrestler get payed for a pay per view?
Goldust played Hollywood before the Harvey Scandel was brought to life.
Before drag queen story time we had Goldust to educate us on alternative lifestyles.
I like that painting. One bird is looking one way, and the other bird is looking another way. It's kind of like a metaphor for what happens in the bed.
I liked the character, I thought it was creative and imaginative, something u don’t always see in wrestling, in my opinion.
I mostly watched WCW back then but every once in a while I'd watch WWF...when gold dust would come on. Is when I'd go take a crap or something.
Vince didn’t want his boys catching feelings
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Imma be goldust for Halloween frfr
Bro the Mandela Affect is real I swore I seen some type of Memorial for Jim Ross back in Highschool or something part of the reason I stopped watching wrestling Jim Ross is Alive and Well. This is like 100 Christmas days all in one Love you Jim !
smoke joints instead JR!
Specific Mandates ha ha ha ha
Goldust is the complete opposite of homophobia.😂
That time when Gold dust's trousers were partly ripped off showing the suspenders and fishnet tights!!
A cig that’s great lol
I loved the gold dust gimmick what a bunch of Karen's crying to corporate
Never heard a bad thing about Dustin at all from men or women in the business.
You should ask that air hostess what he's like
That comment by Vince didn't age Well 👍🚫
Million dollar body... 10 cent brain
Come on jr put the cigs down please
Gold dust was hilarious.
It's the rubbing that got him over with the fans as a heel, and it wasn't even his idea.
Savio Vega told him to do it. It worked.
Savio Veda was gay himself
😂😂😂 What is sad that wasn't even the worst things Goldust had done.
Jr smoking is bad for your health
Thats cool I never knew j.r smoked
If Goldust came along today no one would even notice him because he would be a normal person.
L😂L yet Vince started to "rub on" the talent
I thought the gay rights people would have loved goldust.
Vince is known to say one thing in public and another to one person behind closed doors.
For me, Goldust help destroy homophobic attitudes because he was a great wrestler.
Now we need a wrestler to destroy heterophobic attitudes.
Jesus, Jim's looking rough. Looks like his face is just angry all the time.
Heh, no wonder why the WWF ran this brief disclaimer at the beginning of their shows:
*WARNING: The following program contains action of a graphic nature. VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED*
Man he looks like Cody
And people wonder why the warrior didn’t want advice and stayed away from these carnys and only had a small circle of friends
I love how gold dust gave it back to all the wrestlers who u knew were grouping all the female talent
Groaping
Vince is the one who told gold dust to do it in the first place.
feels bad knowing even a dude like Ahmed Johnson was suseptible to insecurity and bullying
His dad really messed him up
Who knew JR smoked
Vince says this but he winds up rubbing on all sorts of people. Dustin only did it as a job to get a reaction as expected in the job....
But not Pat P?
Gold dust was originally created to hide that this was Dusty Rhodes son.
I can't believe this doesn't have more views already..I wish this podcast would really take off for JR.. nobody deserves the success more than JR in my opinion..
It sucks
Meeeh what. Self-absorbed fat cowboy hat. Wrestling was good when Lord Alfred Hayes and Gorilla Monsoon commented.
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm shocked Jim Ross is a smoker 🚬
Imagine Goldust wrestling in OG ECW.
How are you going to ask a man to play a character and when he plays the best character in gold dust... People want to get upset smh20x
